Document manifesting the bug
Perform the following:
1. Set default style direction to RTL
2. Created a 1x2 table (1 row, 2 columns
3. Enter text in each cell: A, B
4. Set the first cell (should be rightmost cell in RTL order) to have vertical flow (e.g. via the menus: Table | Properties | Text Flow | Text orientation)
5. Save & close the file
6. Open the file you just saved
Result: The entire line's rendering gets shifted to the left. You can see this by comparing the "before closing" and "after reopening" screenshot.
This _seems_ to be a problem with the way LO loads saved data, as the problem does not occur with this layout before the file is closed and reopened. It is probably not a problem with the saving code, since we're also seeing this issue (and another one) in the blocked bug 114883 - where the file was saved in Microsoft Word (and opens correctly with Word).
Notes:
* The bug manifests per-line, so if you make the table 2x2, and only change the layout to vertical on the second line, you'll only get a shift on the second line.
* If the line has just one cell (which gets oriented vertically), the bug doesn't manifest.
* You can't see the attached ODT _without_ the bug - you have to create a new document for that.
Thanks go to Mike Kaganski for "extract"ing this simplified issue out.

Dear Eyal Rozenberg,
To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.
If you have time, please do the following:
Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/
If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
Please DO NOT
Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)
If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/
2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
